Nah it won't. Carroll is the beneficial of our tactics specially designed for him. Tiote is the base which allows us to deploy any tactics. He has to be replaced, which we can't find any replacement.

Watch their matches THIS season. Last season I would agree with you. There are doubts about Tiote's passing ability, which I would give you that.

Best doesn't deserve to be dropped either, if no injuries.

I think the reason is that Raylor has been figured out as the weakest link by the opponents. The last match even though they played Nasri on the left, their actual threat comes from Milner and Micah Richards on the right, keep attacking Raylor and Jonas. In contrast, Simpson and Sammy didn't get bombed by Nasri and Clichy. Man City intentionally did that, and proved to be correct. Very likely Man Utd and Chelsea would do the same and so we have to make a change. Possibly after we replaced Raylor with Santon, it's Simpson's turn of mistakes and errors. A new side back is a must at January, no matter right or left.

Chelsea deadly wants a replacement for Essien. Mikel and Ramires are proven shits who cannot dictate the midfield and Lampard is aging. They NEED Tiote. That's why we can demand a huge price from them. 40m may be a bit over but 30m isn't wide of the mark.

We shouldn't sell at any price. That said, I think Ashley would sell if the offer reaches 40m, and I don't think Pardew could say no given the amount.

He and Colo were the only 2 players that can match opponent's "class" to be honest. And he has run his socks off to chase back Micah Richards. Fair play to him, it's a penalty but his effort last night should be highly appreciated.

We definitely got a chance if we can play like last match. We just need a bit me luck to get a draw, if not a win. Santon for Raylor is the only changes we have to made.

Would be deadly if his right foot could strike a ball.

Yea, quite obvious

Luck, where are you?

Glad to see we all appreciate his effort

Raylor, no, no.....

Yep. No point risking for Man City. We are going to do a kamikaze anyway.

That's a gamble. He is a failure, Ba is a success. Fair.

Forster was the best keeper in SPL last season.

It shouldn't be related to racist. That's Belgium man.

Is he getting booed?

England were forced to lose possession, they didn't give it up themselves. This is not Inter vs Barca. Not going to argue anymore if you cannot understand the difference between "inviting opponents to attack" and "forced to hoof long balls"

I am with JH. England were simply outclassed at first half.

http://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=282952.0 That's where you could take some positives

No, that deal really worth more than 36-7m It's 35m Cash + 25% future transfer fee.

Is that Barton?

I don't think Simpson will go at Jan. No team would pay higher than 3m for him and I doubt we would sell him that cheap. But yea in that case I'd go for him or M'Benque.

Even Santon has to warm the bench man... No way, would rather spend on Ridgewell, we need cover there.
